The scene at the nunnery with Dracula was just super weird. It really cheapened Dracula as a character.
Woman power though I guess?
Last episode is some real fucking wank, first two are great though.
Hellsing nun was fucking awesome, y'all are haters.
I liked the first episode of the show much more than Bram Stoker's Dracula from the early 90's
yeah, basically. the problem with the show was it was just all over the place.Watched 2 and a half episodes. This is a show that is *almost* good, but spoils it with too much hokey shit. There's literally a schwarzenegger-esque quip from someone every 5 minutes. the guy who plays Dracula was terrible as old dracula - I think that set the tone for me - but pretty great as classic dracula. All the other characters blow. The actor who plays Van Helsing is annoying as hell. And the bits meant to be creepy aren't creepy at all - that jerky undead effect doesn't work.
Anyway, wish it was better. Universal Horror stuff is my jam. They should've stayed gothic and upped the atmosphere. Not sure I'll bother finishing this one off
yeah, and to be clear. the fact the moved to modern times, is not the problem. the problem is, they moved the story to modern times, then proceeded to not actually DO anything with that premise.
sadly, I felt that fell a bit flat. Like, yeah, I like the idea. and its largely true.... but, we saw his castle. Remember the "its so fucking big you get lost and need a fucking map" castle? Same with the servant question, and we remember all Dracs servants were dead, and he didnt have any either.The only cool part in the modern times portion is when he is in that dump of a house full of gypsies and marvels at the television. Then goes on that spiel that the luxury of this room eclipsed everything ever experienced by emperors and kings for thousands of years.
